Staff reviewed the proposed appropriations with the Baldwin County Commission during several public special meetings related to the Baldwin County Commission’s Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Budget Deliberations. In accordance with Amendment No. 750 and Amendment No. 772, notification (by public notice) to the public was published in the Friday, September 10, 2021, edition of
the Gulf Coast newspapers which is the newspaper having the largest circulation in Baldwin County. Further, Resolution #2021-127, is required to be adopted setting forth the respective determinations of the Baldwin County Commission that the variety of expenditures of public funds, as relates to a myriad of appropriations authorized by the Baldwin County Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Budget, will, respectively, serve a valid and sufficient public purpose.
